This hotel was perfectly comfortable and clean, nothing to rave about but it was good value for money, and you can park for a reasonable price at the church just down the street. There is a milkman cafe right next to the hotel where we enjoyed a lovely breakfast looking out at the river ness and Inverness castle. It is a great location just a few steps away from the main shopping area

We had a very large and comfortable room for our stay in Inverness. Just an fyi there was no parking on site but 350 meters away was a car park you are guided to use. Easy and not too expensive for the overnight. The location is excellent for walking around Inverness’ downtown core
